I have for some time been owning a raspberry pi 3 micro computer, that I would like to run TMW on.
Unfortunately the default version of manaplus client is an outdated version (1.4.10.11-1) that doesnt run.
Now i am a complete beginner with any kind of linux - so i will probably ask stupid questions !
And please correct me if im mistaken about things i write here !
I have as "OS" installed Raspbian which should be a lightweight version of Debian.

The purpose of writing in here is to investigate if it is possible for me (and many others - i hope) to be able to play TMW on a raspberry pi 3.
I have heard rumors of other players who runs manaplus on a raspberry pi - and i would sure like to get hints to the soulution from theese players.
I would also like this to end up with a sort of manual : TMW on raspberry pi 3 for dummies

So what did i learn so far :
1.
default manaplus is too old and have to be "updated".

rasberry pi based on arm processor. And in manaplus site hosted only i386 and amd64 packages.
For use manaplus on arm you must build from sources or use official debian or ubuntu repositories with latest or almost latest manaplus versions.
Compilation probably simpler but slower than search how to add official repositories.

Another option use one of upto date distro on rasberry pi. But default look like you using very outdated distro.

Thanks for replying Tomminator.
Yes i have downloaded the file, but typing the command in LXterminal responds with an error message.
Hovever i can install the package by double-clicking it, causing it to appear in "add/remove software"
But still i cannot activate it.

I was under the impression that the "sudo apt-get update" would keep my distro (version ?) well... updated
Tommorow I might do a brand new setup then - to see if manaplus has been changed in a newer distro.

Now i have played a little with the version 1.7.1.21 and it runs fine.
I run it with soulution 1024x768 and its ok.
x-button had to be reconfigured
online players list : says only "please update manaplus"
no emojies select able in chatbox.
Otherwise it is playable.

But i would like an even never version to run
Tried to update this way with LX-terminal :
wget http://repo.evolonline.org/manaplus/4144.asc => file downloaded.
sudo -i (otherwise i cannot gain rights to change sources.list)
nano /etc/apt/sources.list (opens sources list)
added the line : deb http://repo.evolonline.org/manaplus karmic main
save and exit - restart LX-terminal :
sudo apt-get update

all updates are ignored "no releasefile" or something like that)
is the missing part the 4144.asc ?

looking at manaplus in "add/remove software" it looks like version 1.8.12.8 is installed only i cannot activate both program and data at the same time, and of course nothing happends.
The third part of manaplus : manaplus-dpg-1.7.1.21-1 cannot be upgraded.
maybe thats part of the problem.

I would like to hear from anybody who plays newest version on raspberry pi.
I am running low of ideas

Add repository what i said before, install manaplus, remove added repositories.
It will update some or many packages for newer versions, but this is better than complete switch to unstable repository.
And you will not solve conflicts manually
